Help! Photography/DJ/Florist Quotes - all inclusive East Wind

Hi Ladies! My fiance and I visited the East Wind today. We looked at the cottage and the Veranda room. We were given pricing for a la carte and for all inclusive. We've only just started planning so I have NO idea what a DJ, photography, or flowers will cost! If anyone can send quotes that would be fantastic. Their vendors are Tommy's Tunes or LI Sound (I think I've read good things on here about Tommy's Tunes!) for DJ, ADA Studios or Marco Photography for photos, and they have an in-house florist, so any floral quotes would be welcome!

If anyone has experience with East Wind, any info would be helpful as well! Thanks in advance!!!

LI Sound is expensive so if that's their vendor for DJ, that's really great. I saw them at a showcase and thought they were amazing but I couldn't afford them. I hired Bravo Sound who is sick! Plus they were far more affordable which made it even better for us!! As for Photography, we used Patken! I can't wait to see my pictures and video. It was a lot of fun to work with them. So I can't really say about the vendors you mentioned. Lotus and Studio 27 have really great reviews as well. I don't have quotes for them but other brides on here have said they're affordable and fair. My florist came in less then half of what other florists were quoting me for what I wanted and she blew my mind. She went above and beyond, she does amazing work.

Hi! I'm getting married in the Northampton room at East Wind. W loved the Veranda but my family has so many people we didn't know if we'd be able to keep it to 160 people. Based on the quotes from other places for a Saturday night in October, it made sense to go with East Wind since it was not much more per plate but East Wind gives you pretty much everything. We are using a credit towards the florists for other flowers because I'm going to make my centerpieces They're pretty accommodating. Also the fact that everything was in one place for me really helped make my decision. I'm stressed enough and the fact that I don't have to meet with 40 vendors really calmed my nerves.

We considered east wind but it ended up being too far for us from our church and we also had our prom in the Northampton/Southampton rooms where we would have been. That said though, their all inclusive package seemed like a great deal. They were also willing to give credit if we didn't wanna go with their photographer or Dj or whoever.

Ryan and I made the big mistake of asking photography studios to email us price quotes. Although, it is helpful in some ways, it doesn't give you a good feel for the studio. Before booking Studio 27, we almost weren't going to go because they are priced higher than some of the other studios we liked. but once we were in there, we fell in love with the atmosphere, the people and found out they had specials which brought our price down below or matching other studios anyway. But more so, we loved how different and creative their photos are and how much fun we had meeting with Steve. I would recommend basing your decision off the overall experience rather than just numbers.

I have heard great things about Tommy Tunes as well, we are just starting to look into different DJs now. But as far as photography and videography we booked with Lotus for both. They shot my friends wedding last year and her photos were so stunning that we didnt even look any further.
